lyrics

His skin is oiled bronze
His hair is golden blonde
And I’ve never touched a man
Eyes of the deepest brown
He is the talk of the town
But he never looks my way

I am read so easily
When he says my name
I swallow down my fantasy
His scent overpowers me

Quarterback, I’ll keep this close
Nobody has to know
Quarterback, let’s play pretend
I’ll say you’re just a friend

Don’t break don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart
Don’t break don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart

Girlfriend threat
I’ll make him forget
She never loved him anyway (she never loved him)
His arms strong
The bleacher song
I’m just standing there

I am read so easily
When he says my name
I spend my nights alone in ecstasy
Someday he’s gonna want me

Quarterback, I’ll keep this close
Nobody has to know
Quarterback, let’s play pretend
I’ll say you’re just a friend

Don’t break don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart (They always break your heart)
Don’t break don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart

If someone finds out
What I won’t say out loud
Just deny it all away
And if you need me
I’ll be here on my knees
Grass stains and growing pains and words I’ll never say

Quarterback, I’ll keep this close
Nobody has to know
Quarterback, let’s play pretend
I’ll say you’re just a friend, Whoa
Quarterback, I’ll keep this close
Nobody has to know (Nobody nobody knows)
Quarterback, let’s play pretend
I’ll say you’re just a friend
